President Rumen Radev has given the first mandate to GERB-SDF.
"We appreciate the time you gave us", the candidate for Prime Minister Rosen Zhelyazkov addressed the president.
All this three months after the early parliamentary elections, in which voters once again ordered a parliament without giving a governing majority to any party. A parliament that spent the first weeks electing a speaker, and the remaining time up to this point in tense negotiations in search of more than 121 votes “For” The 105th Bulgarian cabinet.
Behind the cabinet of Rosen Zhelyazkov will be the BSP-United Left and “There is such a people“, who will participate directly in the government. Late last night it became clear that in order to have a majority in parliament “For“, Ahmed Dogan's deputies from “Democracy, Rights and Freedoms – MRF“ will also vote, but without having representatives in the cabinet.
An option is for Rosen Zhelyazkov to accept the mandate and keep it, but he must return here to “Dondukov 2“ within seven days to state his decision.
"Nothing is agreed until everything is agreed. So there is a third pessimistic option: the mandate will be fulfilled," he said yesterday.
The composition of the “Zhelyazkov“ cabinet is outlined with a prime minister and three deputy prime ministers for each of the parties and a total of 19 ministers - 11 for GERB, four each for BSP and ITN. Tomislav Donchev - deputy prime minister from GERB and minister of innovation.
The acting chairman of the BSP Atanas Zafirov will be deputy prime minister without portfolio.
The name of the deputy prime minister from “There is such a people“ is still unclear.
